Congressional candidate Andy Barr and U.S. Senator Rand Paul will still address the convention. Barr will speak by 3 pm Tuesday, and Paul will end up with a higher-profile slot than he was originally given. Paul will speak directly after his Kentucky counterpart, Mitch McConnell on Wednesday night.
The new timeslots give all three of Kentucky’s speakers a better shot at media coverage, since the big three networks were planning to skip wall-to-wall first-day coverage.
